Lakelands sits at Mandurah’s northern edge, between Mandurah Road (with Madora Bay on the other side) and Mandjoorgoordap Road, with Meadow Springs to the south. Much of it is the planned Lakelands estate, built around Black Swan Lake and Paganoni Lake, and since 2023 it has had its own station on the Mandurah line. Blocks are generally compact, often around 500 square metres, and that shapes almost every stump job here.

Stumps in newer estates and smaller yards
Because so much of Lakelands is fairly new, stumps here tend to be smaller ornamentals, fruit trees, palms or screening plants that grew faster than expected, rather than huge old gums. The difficulty is less about size and more about space. A stump might be:
- Tucked against a boundary fence or a neighbour’s retaining wall
- Close to the house slab, a patio or an alfresco area
- Sitting in a garden bed right beside reticulation lines and drip pipe
- Under or next to artificial turf or new paving that needs to stay intact
Small stumps often fall under an operator’s minimum call-out charge. If you have two or three stumps, or a neighbour has one too, it’s worth doing them in the same visit.
Access on compact lots
Homes on compact lots are often built close to the side boundaries, leaving a narrow path, or no side access at all, with the garage as the only way through to the backyard. Bins, water tanks, air-con units and gates that only open partway can all narrow the gap further. Compact stump grinders are designed for this kind of yard, but the operator needs accurate measurements.
Before you get in touch
- Measure the narrowest point between the street and the stump
- Photograph the stump next to a shoe or spade for scale
- Note any sprinkler lines, drip pipe or soakwells nearby
- Tell the operator if the stump is near a shared fence
Street trees and services
If the stump is on the verge in front of your home, check with the City of Mandurah before arranging any work, as verge trees are generally the council’s responsibility. For stumps on your own block, a free Before You Dig Australia enquiry at byda.com.au shows network services in the area. It won’t show private reticulation, so mention anything you know about.

Stump grinding in Lakelands FAQ
Is it worth grinding a small stump?
Usually, if it’s in the way of turf, paving or a new garden bed. Minimum charges mean a single tiny stump can cost close to a medium one, so group jobs where you can. Our stump grinding cost guide has typical ranges.
Can the grinder go through my garage?
Sometimes. A compact machine may fit through a garage or a narrow doorway. Share measurements and photos so the operator can say for sure.
Will grinding damage my reticulation?
Lines close to a stump can be hit if nobody knows they’re there. Point out sprinklers and pipes in your photos, and the operator can work around them or advise you to move them first.
